The following document presents the work performed over the course of this degree project. It first includes background research performed to solve the objectives of the degree project, namely, a review of thermal spraying, abrasive blasting, laser texturing, and the safety concerns raised by their respective use. It then mentions a preliminary exploration of possible safety features of the final cell, at multiple levels: hardware, software, maintenance, and visual warnings, as well as the international regulations and standards they must comply with. The second part of this report draws guidelines for the choice of external components with constraints imposed by the context of the LaTex project in mind. An exploration of algorithmic tools applicable is proposed and a snippet of simulation code is provided. Finally, the document discusses limitations of the findings and future work to be performed.
